United have so far struggled under Louis van Gaal this season, losing to Swansea City on the opening day before a 1-1 draw with Sunderland on Sunday. The misery was compounded by a shock 4-0 defeat to MK Dons in the Capital One Cup, leaving van Gaal with work to do in the transfer market.

The Dutchman landed Angel Di Maria in a £60m deal this week, and the arrival of the Real Madrid star could lead to some departures, with Tom Cleverley potentially on his way to Aston Villa in an £8m deal.

And now, Japanese playmaker Shinji Kagawa also looks set to leave the club for £10m, heading back to former club Borussia Dortmund - according to transfer insider Gianluca Di Marzio.

"Shinji Kagawa is one of the best players in the world and he now plays 20 minutes at Manchester United - on the left wing! My heart breaks. Really, I have tears in my eyes. Central midfield is Shinji's best role. He's an offensive midfielder with one of the best noses for goal I ever saw."
